Breakaway snares

[honeypig 0]

Some advice needed...

 

I'm keen to try my hand at setting a few snares in the hope of bagging a few bunnies for the pot. Inspired by Glen Waters post on how to make the Breakaway type I'm keen to have a go at making my own. I'm finding it difficult to find somewhere to buy the cable, end stops and anything else I'll need. Any tips on where to get these things (and what the best cable etc is) would be appreciated.

 

Thanks again.

Having done some more looking into it since the first post, I'm guessing the design is mainly aimed at fox snares and maybe not that applicable to rabbit snaring. Could still do with some advice on what and where to get the best wire etc...

Just found a site and ordered some wire etc so I can have a go at making them myself... so I don't need to buy any (thanks anyway though Geordie!). I'll post and let you know how I get on.

 

Thanks for all your help and advice!
